Good job 👏🏽
I just started listening to your show and it is amazing. But in the K-pop demon hunter episode you said that Rumi song a verse but actually Zoe did. The verse was: I lived two lives tried to paint both sides but I couldn’t find my own place.
But I LOVE YOUR SHOW…
Enjoyable and informative.
I love Nate’s humor! He and Charlie play so nice together, it’s a joy to listen to their banter and musical expertise. Reanna is a gem - I love when she features.
Thank you for doing a deep dive on Rosalía’s LUX, and please do a Katseye ep! Also we’re long overdue for an homage to my queen, Florence + the Machine.
Zoe says i lived two lives tried to play both sides nottttttttt rumi i love the podcast tho it is great 👍
